Wake Up!

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2003)

Look every movie has flaws and i mean every, so why waste you're time watching them if you're going to sit there and pick? For me this is the best British movie since well...Trainspotting( coincidently by the same director) and goddamn it it's a British Zombie movie hurrah! it's not Mike Leigh moaning on about how depressing this country is, how bad the welfare state is and the wages are rubbbish. We Brits live in a director like Mike Leighs world everyday so we don't need to be reminded of it everytime we go to see a British film. This breaks all conventions of every "british" film of the past twenty years since Leigh,Loach et al... although admirable in their own time are now past it and getting rather boring. This movie rocked my socks off! My heart raced and then calmed and then raced again. In other words i found it thouroughly engrossing and bears up to repeated viewings and thats not just because i live six miles from where the end was shot ( Ennerdale Cumbria ). It is because like 24 Hour party people it is simply and outragiously enetertaining!!! no wonder film four collapsed. By the way i made a short at art school filmed in the lake district and with zombies. Guess they beat me to it. WATCH!!!
